“…Stress is a pathological process resulting from psychophysiological responses triggered by threats to homeostasis [11], and chronic psychosocial stress leads to an increase in BP and the risk of developing hypertension [12][13][14]. Moreover, it is now established that chronic conditions frequently present with various types of psychopathology such as depressive aspects, cognitive-behavioral disorders, sleep disorders, and extremely high levels of stress [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Psychological corollaries of stress, including increased levels of anxiety, depression, or anger, are known predictors of hypertension [28].…”

Background: Hypertension is among the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, which are considered high mortality risk medical conditions. To date, several studies have reported positive effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) interventions on physical and psychological well-being in other medical conditions, but no meta-analysis on MBSR programs for hypertension has been conducted. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of MBSR programs for hypertension. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examining the effects of MBSR on systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), anxiety, depression, and perceived stress in people with hypertension or pre-hypertension was conducted. The PubMed/MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases were searched in November 2020 to identify relevant studies. Results: Six studies were included. The comparison of MBSR versus control conditions on diastolic BP was associated with a statistically significant mean effect size favoring MBSR over control conditions (MD = −2.029; 95% confidence interval (CI): −3.676 to −0.383, p = 0.016, k = 6; 22 effect sizes overall), without evidence of heterogeneity (I2 = 0.000%). The comparison of MBSR versus control conditions on systolic BP was associated with a mean effect size which was statistically significant only at a marginal level (MD = −3.894; 95% CI: −7.736–0.053, p = 0.047, k = 6; 22 effect sizes overall), without evidence of high heterogeneity (I2 = 20.772%). The higher the proportion of participants on antihypertensive medications was, the larger the effects of MBSR were on systolic BP (B = −0.750, z = −2.73, p = 0.003). Conclusions: MBSR seems to be a promising intervention, particularly effective on the reduction of diastolic BP. More well-conducted trials are required.

“…The MHQ offers a comprehensive hand disability assessment in addition to the overall health assessment. Because it was stated to contain questions about a more current and esthetic appearance, 35 we thought that it would make a more comprehensive assessment for patients with PsA. Whereas there was a weak correlation between the total MHQ score with the left-hand two-point pinch, it was moderately correlated with other parameters of hand strength.…”

Effect of psoriatic arthritis on the strength, proprioception, skill, coordination, and functional condition of the hand

Background: This study was planned to evaluate the strength, proprioception, skill, coordination, and functional condition of the hand in individuals with psoriatic arthritis and to correlate disease activity with these parameters.Methods: Fifty-six individuals (psoriatic arthritis group, n = 36; control group, n = 20)were included in the study. Evaluations were performed of disease activity with Disease Activity Score 28; grip strength with a dynamometer and pinch strength with pinch gauge dynamometers; joint position sensation with a goniometer; finger skills with a mobile application; and coordination and skill of both hands with the Purdue Pegboard test. The Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) was used for hand functional evaluation.Results: There was a significant difference between the grip and pinch strength of the psoriatic arthritis group and the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the joint position sense measurements and the mobile application scores between the groups (P > 0.05). Purdue Pegboard scores showed a significant difference only in both hands and assembly subsections (P < 0.05). With Disease Activity Score 28, significant correlations were found between grip and pinch strength, mobile application scores, Purdue Pegboard all subsections, and lefthand joint position sense average error amount, and between MHQ and grip and pinch strength. Conclusions:This study is the first to show that psoriatic arthritis has a negative effect especially on hand strength; grip strength decreases as disease severity increases and, skill, coordination, and functionality of hand deteriorate.

“…Base of thumb OA (BTOA) is a common condition that is frequently associated with substantial degrees of pain, dysfunction and disability [ 1–3 ]. The existing evidence suggests that hand OA has a similar impact on health-related quality of life (QoL) as RA [ 4 , 5 ]. BTOA is the most common form of hand OA and is present in half of patients with symptomatic hand OA [ 6 ].…”

Base of thumb osteoarthritis in UK interface services—a cohort and survey-based study to assess current practice

Aim Base of thumb osteoarthritis (BTOA) is a common age-related disease which has a significant negative impact upon quality of life, while little is known about structure and pathways of interface services. Our aim was to assess disease burden, referral pathways, service structure and management pathways in UK interface services. Patients & Methods A structured questionnaire was carried out with a participating clinician at each centre to detail the local guidelines and management of BTOA. Five patients referred with BTOA were prospectively identified in each of 32 United Kingdom (UK) interface centres. Results Most centres (72%) had a local guideline and a standardised treatment regime consisting of education (100%), joint protection (100%), range of motion exercises (84%), strengthening exercises (88%), splintage (100%) and use of assistive devices (78%). No centre routinely offered a steroid injection at the first appointment and no centre had a specific threshold for offering an injection. Injection delivery was variable. Most patients had not been referred previously (82%). Most patients used analgesia (72%) but a minority of patients had been treated with a splint (46%), therapy (43%) and steroid injection (27%) prior to their latest attendance. Conclusion Most BTOA patients newly referred to interface services have been treated with analgesics and have not received comprehensive multimodal intervention. The management of BTOA at interface services is standardised in terms of education, splintage and therapy. However, there is a lack of standardisation in terms of both the threshold for, timing and mode of delivery of injection therapy.
